Abstract

In this experimental work, a single polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microfluidic device as gradual expansion microchannel is fabricated by maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding technique. Dyed ethylene glycol is prepared and used as working liquid in this work. A CMOS camera is used to capture the passive microfluidic flow of dyed ethylene glycol in the fabricated microfluidic device. Nano fluidics is the nano-scale fluid mechanics in nanotechnology. In future, this work may be useful to establish the nanofluidic flow characteristics in nano fluidics with the theoretical and experimental validation.
